This pair of Victorian 15ct yellow gold drop earrings functions as momento lockets and features a tassel fringe. Each circular disc has a diameter of 19mm and suspends articulated mesh tassels at the base, while the total drop length from the top of the hook measures 47mm. A starburst motif adorns the face of each disc, set with central 3mm turquoise cabochons and surrounded by 2mm seed pearls. The design incorporates curved ear wires with spherical hardware elements and openwork floral rosette shapes on the starbursts. These pieces show mild tarnishing to the gold surface and contain original glass backs, weighing 12.6g together for pierced ears.

FAQs

Victorian tassel earrings, popular during the mid-to-late 19th century, frequently incorporated intricate goldsmithing, secret locket compartments for mementos, and articulated chain fringe designed to create movement.

Victorian jewellers commonly set natural turquoise cabochons and seed pearls into high-carat yellow gold, such as 15ct gold, often using wirework, repousse detailing, and woven mesh tassels.

Authentic pieces feature period-correct hallmarks or carat stamps such as 15ct, hand-fabricated hook fittings, original glass or covered locket backs, and natural variations in hand-cut gemstones.

Pair antique gold drop earrings with clean-lined contemporary tailoring or simple evening wear to allow the detailed historical metalwork and articulated movement to serve as a focal point.

Clean carefully using a dry, soft cloth, avoiding immersion in water, liquid cleaners, or ultrasonic devices, as porous natural turquoise and fine mesh tassels are sensitive to moisture and chemicals.
